So, I got a little picky on a recent play through – trying to play with tougher AI, so wanted to have a good start with good bonuses on my planet. The process was simple… start new game, check planet… if bad… go back to main menu and repeat. Invariably, after about 8-9 restarts, the game crashes to desktop. I came late to the previous beta round so didn't report it as I figured memory issues would be addressed (as mentioned now in the changelog for v.60). But anyway, this still happens - and I can reproduce it.
